2017-18 Quinnipiac Women’s Ice Hockey Game Notes
CASSANDRA TURNER Head Coach 3rd season Brown ‘03
Cassandra Turner enters her third season as the Quinnipiac women’s ice hockey head coach and 10th with the program. On June 6, 2016 she signed a contract extension through the 2020-21 season. In her irst season as head coach, she enjoyed the best season in Quinnipiac women’s ice hockey history, leading the Bobcats to the program’s irst ECAC Hockey Regular Season and Tournament Championships. Quinnipiac women’s ice hockey also hosted the irst NCAA Tournament Home Game in school history and won 30 games for the irst time in program history. With those 30 wins, Turner set the NCAA Record for wins by a irst-year women’s ice hockey head coach at any level. In addition to the championships and winning the most games in program history, the Bobcats set records for most goals scored (118), most assists (188), highest power play percentage (25 percent), highest penalty kill (92.5 percent), fewest goals allowed (35), lowest GAA (0.92), most home wins (18), tied the most road wins (11), longest winning streak (10 games), and longest unbeaten streak (21 games). Last season, she followed that up with another stellar campaign, leading the Bobcats to 21 wins, distinguishing the program as one of only three at the NCAA Division I level, along with the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin, to win 19 or more games in each of the last eight season. A puck possession, hard to play against hockey team, the ’16-’17 Bobcats inished the as one of the top three defensive hockey teams in the nation (1.38 goals against/game) for the third year in a row. In 2014-15, Turner completed her seventh season as a member of the Bobcats’ coaching staff and fourth in the role of Associate Head Coach. During the 2014-15 season she concurrently served as the Head Coach of Canada’s U18 National Women’s Team through the World Championship. Her success in the game -- as a recruiter, teacher of defensive skills, and role model for the highly motivated female athlete -- has af irmed her place among the elite young coaches in the women’s game. Her leadership, championship playing experience, international coaching experience and innovative approach to development have played a vital role in the resurgence of the Quinnipiac program. Turner has re-energized the program’s team culture around an attitude that emphasizes team play, hard work, and a commitment to defensive hockey. In her nine years at Quinnipiac, she has been the leading voice on staff in creating a mindset that values attention to detail, developing great habits, and being “Hard to Play Against.” Particularly seen in her work with the program’s defenseman, her understanding of the game, ability to teach, and commitment to individual player development constantly pushed the program to new heights. Under her leadership, the Bobcats established new lows for goals against, leading the nation in Scoring Defense in 2009-10 by holding opponents to 1.38 goals per game. Over the last three seasons, the Bobcats have inished among the nation’s top 3 in fewest goals allowed. The 45 goals allowed in 2014-15 tied for the lowest in the nation and the 35 goals allowed
(.92 GA/gm) in 2015-16 marked the fewest goals allowed in program history. The Bobcats also improved by staying out of the penalty box under Turner as they went from the most penalized team in the nation in 2007-2008 to the least penalized team in Division I women’s ice hockey for six straight seasons (200915). Quinnipiac also set a new NCAA record for fewest penalty minutes in a season with 162 and fewest penalty minutes per game at 4.3 in 2014-15. Additionally, her attention to detail on special teams and with the defensemen has helped many members of team realize new lofty personal and team goals. Since her arrival at Quinnipiac in 2008, Quinnipiac has won 182 games, with 19 or more in each of her last eight seasons as an assistant coach, associate head coach, and now head coach. The program’s 119 wins and 45 losses, are the ifth most wins and ifth fewest losses in Division I women’s college hockey over the last ive years. As the program’s recruiting coordinator, Turner consistently demonstrated the ability to recruit elite level student-athletes and prepare them to succeed. Over the last nine years, Turner has helped identify and attract 17 All-ECAC Hockey selections, including ive First Team honorees and six all-rookie selections. Most notable among them, the program’s only All-American Kelly Babstock, inished her career as a four-time All-ECAC Hockey selection, ECAC Hockey Rookie and Player of the Year in 2010-11, and the program’s all-time scoring leader with 95 goals and 108 assists for 203 points. Off the ice, Coach Turner led efforts to mentor and push team members in the daily pursuit of excellence. She structured the academic guidance program, created regular goal setting sessions, and consistently worked to enhance mental skills opportunities for Bobcat student-athletes. As a re lection of those efforts, 132 women’s ice hockey student-athletes have been named to the ECAC Hockey All-Academic Team during the past 9 years, highlighted by a program record 22 in 2016-17. Under Turner’s direction, Quinnipiac goaltender Chelsea Laden was awarded ECAC Hockey’s Mandi Schwartz Student-Athlete of the Year Award as well as ECAC Hockey and Hockey East’s Sarah Devens Award Winner. Defenseman Kristen Tamberg earned the program’s 2nd consecutive Mandi Schwartz Award in 2016. In addition to her role with the Bobcats, Turner has been a longtime ixture within Hockey Canada’s National Women’s Programs as a player, assistant coach, and head coach. During her playing career, she represented Canada three times on the U-22 National Team from 2001-2003, highlighted by a Gold Medal inish at the 2003 Air Canada Cup. In 2014-15, she served as the Head Coach of Canada’s National Women’s Under-18 Team through selection, training, and the World Championship. She previously represented her home country as an assistant with the U-18 National Team at the 2011 and 2014 IIHF Women’s U-18 World Championships and with the Women’s Development Team in 2013. Turner lives in Wallingford with her husband, Paul, their son, Blake and their daughter, Adilee.

2017-18 Quinnipiac Women’s Ice Hockey Game Notes
CASSANDRA TURNER Head Coach 3rd season Brown ‘03
Cassandra Turner enters her third season as the Quinnipiac women’s ice hockey head coach and 10th with the program. On June 6, 2016 she signed a contract extension through the 2020-21 season. In her irst season as head coach, she enjoyed the best season in Quinnipiac women’s ice hockey history, leading the Bobcats to the program’s irst ECAC Hockey Regular Season and Tournament Championships. Quinnipiac women’s ice hockey also hosted the irst NCAA Tournament Home Game in school history and won 30 games for the irst time in program history. With those 30 wins, Turner set the NCAA Record for wins by a irst-year women’s ice hockey head coach at any level. In addition to the championships and winning the most games in program history, the Bobcats set records for most goals scored (118), most assists (188), highest power play percentage (25 percent), highest penalty kill (92.5 percent), fewest goals allowed (35), lowest GAA (0.92), most home wins (18), tied the most road wins (11), longest winning streak (10 games), and longest unbeaten streak (21 games). Last season, she followed that up with another stellar campaign, leading the Bobcats to 21 wins, distinguishing the program as one of only three at the NCAA Division I level, along with the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin, to win 19 or more games in each of the last eight season. A puck possession, hard to play against hockey team, the ’16-’17 Bobcats inished the as one of the top three defensive hockey teams in the nation (1.38 goals against/game) for the third year in a row. In 2014-15, Turner completed her seventh season as a member of the Bobcats’ coaching staff and fourth in the role of Associate Head Coach. During the 2014-15 season she concurrently served as the Head Coach of Canada’s U18 National Women’s Team through the World Championship. Her success in the game -- as a recruiter, teacher of defensive skills, and role model for the highly motivated female athlete -- has af irmed her place among the elite young coaches in the women’s game. Her leadership, championship playing experience, international coaching experience and innovative approach to development have played a vital role in the resurgence of the Quinnipiac program. Turner has re-energized the program’s team culture around an attitude that emphasizes team play, hard work, and a commitment to defensive hockey. In her nine years at Quinnipiac, she has been the leading voice on staff in creating a mindset that values attention to detail, developing great habits, and being “Hard to Play Against.” Particularly seen in her work with the program’s defenseman, her understanding of the game, ability to teach, and commitment to individual player development constantly pushed the program to new heights. Under her leadership, the Bobcats established new lows for goals against, leading the nation in Scoring Defense in 2009-10 by holding opponents to 1.38 goals per game. Over the last three seasons, the Bobcats have inished among the nation’s top 3 in fewest goals allowed. The 45 goals allowed in 2014-15 tied for the lowest in the nation and the 35 goals allowed
(.92 GA/gm) in 2015-16 marked the fewest goals allowed in program history. The Bobcats also improved by staying out of the penalty box under Turner as they went from the most penalized team in the nation in 2007-2008 to the least penalized team in Division I women’s ice hockey for six straight seasons (200915). Quinnipiac also set a new NCAA record for fewest penalty minutes in a season with 162 and fewest penalty minutes per game at 4.3 in 2014-15. Additionally, her attention to detail on special teams and with the defensemen has helped many members of team realize new lofty personal and team goals. Since her arrival at Quinnipiac in 2008, Quinnipiac has won 182 games, with 19 or more in each of her last eight seasons as an assistant coach, associate head coach, and now head coach. The program’s 119 wins and 45 losses, are the ifth most wins and ifth fewest losses in Division I women’s college hockey over the last ive years. As the program’s recruiting coordinator, Turner consistently demonstrated the ability to recruit elite level student-athletes and prepare them to succeed. Over the last nine years, Turner has helped identify and attract 17 All-ECAC Hockey selections, including ive First Team honorees and six all-rookie selections. Most notable among them, the program’s only All-American Kelly Babstock, inished her career as a four-time All-ECAC Hockey selection, ECAC Hockey Rookie and Player of the Year in 2010-11, and the program’s all-time scoring leader with 95 goals and 108 assists for 203 points. Off the ice, Coach Turner led efforts to mentor and push team members in the daily pursuit of excellence. She structured the academic guidance program, created regular goal setting sessions, and consistently worked to enhance mental skills opportunities for Bobcat student-athletes. As a re lection of those efforts, 132 women’s ice hockey student-athletes have been named to the ECAC Hockey All-Academic Team during the past 9 years, highlighted by a program record 22 in 2016-17. Under Turner’s direction, Quinnipiac goaltender Chelsea Laden was awarded ECAC Hockey’s Mandi Schwartz Student-Athlete of the Year Award as well as ECAC Hockey and Hockey East’s Sarah Devens Award Winner. Defenseman Kristen Tamberg earned the program’s 2nd consecutive Mandi Schwartz Award in 2016. In addition to her role with the Bobcats, Turner has been a longtime ixture within Hockey Canada’s National Women’s Programs as a player, assistant coach, and head coach. During her playing career, she represented Canada three times on the U-22 National Team from 2001-2003, highlighted by a Gold Medal inish at the 2003 Air Canada Cup. In 2014-15, she served as the Head Coach of Canada’s National Women’s Under-18 Team through selection, training, and the World Championship. She previously represented her home country as an assistant with the U-18 National Team at the 2011 and 2014 IIHF Women’s U-18 World Championships and with the Women’s Development Team in 2013. Turner lives in Wallingford with her husband, Paul, their son, Blake and their daughter, Adilee.
